Annualcreditreport check - credit card account open?

I had an Aqua 3% cashback card ages ago. Checking the annualcreditreport website it says that this account is still open. I can't remember if I received a letter confirming closure, but I did cancel once the cashback was taken away. This must have been in 2013?

Should I be worried?
Is this information correct on annualcreditreport?
Will this affect me? The balance has been at £0.00 if open.

I also closed my Halifax Clarity credit card account last month but this still shows on my bank account and the annualcreditreport website? I have no confirmation of account closure for this.

Do companies benefit from having credit card accounts still open?

I will say that annualcreditreport does have closed credit card accounts shown also (Tesco/Amazon).
